This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TDT Wagon is a German-market example that was imported to Arizona in November 1985 and shows 138k miles from new. Finished in Nautical Blue Metallic (929) over Blue Cloth (052), power is provided by a 3.0-liter five-cylinder turbocharged diesel paired with a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Factory equipment includes a sliding steel sunroof, central locking, automatic climate control, a power passenger-side mirror and a Becker radio. Recent maintenance included a complete inspection and fluid level check along with a new set of Toyo tires and a four-wheel alignment.
